Thinking about this front end modification...yay or nay???
I've been leaning on doing this for a while now...
Here is an actual product from the JDM manufacturer AXELL
Now that carbon fiber center section that flushes the upper grill with the lower grill is what im talking about. That piece is roughly $500 US, but the only thing that bothers me is that the only finish it comes in is carbon fiber.
Now I'm ok with carbon fiber if I had other carbon fiber accessories, but I don't. It's going to look really weird with that being the only piece in carbon fiber. I don't want to paint over the finish in gloss or flat black as that would defeat the purpose of getting it in carbon fiber...
I was thinking about getting it professionally vinyl wrapped in gloss black. (Since my whole roof is done is gloss black already) It would be a seamless transition. Here are some booty before and after pics of what it'll look like:

After:
sooooooo....yay or nay???

Looks wierd imo. If the front end of a ct were michael jacksons face ... that mod is the equivalent to a bad nose job, lol
All jokes aside, car is still nice overall. The look is just too similar to a lancer evo x:

A+ Love it. I did this with carbon fiber wrap on my RX F-Sport and now that I see how good it looks on your CT, I'm tempted to do it on my CT as well.

When I say, "It's too late, it's already being done" and show pictures of finished results, it means I did it already.
I am not offended by anyone in this post. I have thick skin and a sense of humor i.e. "haters gonna hate" meme...you don't think that's funny? just sayin'
